So Dominic Solanke's first-half goal proved enough for Chelsea as their post-season tour kicks-off with a win. Jose Mourinho's side now travel to Australia for a friendly against Sydney FC on Tuesday.

Thank you for following Sportsmail's coverage from Bangkok this afternoon with myself, Luke Augustus. Until next time- enjoy your weekend!

FULL-TIME: Thailand All-Stars 0-1 Chelsea

The answer is no as the referee brings the friendly to a close to the happiness of the tourists. In truth they haven't been really threatened in the match as they dominated for the majority of the match.

13:53

We're into injury time...

Can Chelsea add to their tally late on?

Chelsea substitution - Diego Costa off, Dominic Solanke on

82 mins: Diego Costa's match is over. The Blues' star striker is taken off as Solanke is brought back on. Costa's injury problems are well documented and it seems that Mourinho has decided to protect him. Mitchell Beeney also comes on in place of Blackman.

If it wasn't for the Danish defender's intervention the Thai All-Stars would have been level. #CFC

70 mins: The All-Star XI come close to equalising as they break the Chelsea offside trap. Rounding Jamal Blackman in the Blues goal, the Thaliand All-Stars striker sees his shot cleared off the line by a brilliant header from Andreas Christensen.

Second drinks break of the match

66 mins: We have our second scheduled stoppage of the match as fluids are taken on board by both sets of players.

The players are having a well-earned water break midway through the second half. It's very hot and humid here in Bangkok. #CFC

64 mins: What a chance that was for Chelsea to go two-nil ahead. Another swift counter-attack sets Diego Costa clear with Eden Hazard for company. After waiting for the right time to play the pass, Costa does so leaving Hazard one-on-one with the goalkeeper. However, the Belgium international fails to capitalise - as it Thailand All-Stars clear their lines.

Diego Costa and Hazard both decline opportunities to shoot in very good positions and the Thai All-Stars can clear their lines. #CFC

Eden Hazard wasted a glorious opportunity to put Chelsea two-nil ahead in the second half

Blue is the colour in Bangkok

Despite an All-Star XI representing them, the crowd inside the Rajamangala National Stadium is predominately behind their Premier League heroes. Non-stop singing descends around the ground as those at the vast arena are dressed in blue.

Blue is most certainly the colour inside the Rajamangala National Stadium today

HALF-TIME: Thailand All-Stars 0-1 Chelsea

Solanke's chance wraps up a first half that the tourists have dominated. Despite their age, Mourinho's charges appear the more experienced team in Bangkok - a display the Blues boss will be delighted with so far.

12:52

Big chance - Dominic Solanke

46 mins: Chelsea come so close to doubling the lead with a free-flowing counter-attack. Solanke, who has caused the Thailand All-Stars several problems in the first half, finds himself through on goal but his beautifully clipped effort just bounces wide of the post. That would have been some goal.

35 mins: We have our first booking of the match as Thailand All-Stars defender Mika is cautioned for a cynical handball that stops a penetrating run by Chelsea's Jeremie Boga.

Chelsea injury scare - Izzy Brown

30 mins: Half an hour gone and the Blues are in total control. Mourinho will be delighted with his young guns performance so far, but concerned to the knock of Izzy Brown. The academy star goes down after a late challenge to his ankle. After some medical treatment though, he returns to the action.

Water break in Bangkok

22 mins: We have our first drinks break of the match due to the humidity. Expect plenty of changes later on as fatigue sets in.

Solanke, named Chelsea Academy Player of the Year on Tuesday, scored 41 goals this season at youth level. That finish showed why. #CFC

He's only 17 years old but Solanke's talent is obvious to see. The forward made his first-team debut earlier in the season and has been spoken of highly in the past by Mourinho. His finish just then, shows why.

12:17

GOAL! Thailand All-Stars 0-1 CHELSEA - Dominic Solanke (13 mins)

The Blues' bright start has been rewarded via a clinical finish from Dominic Solanke. After neat build-up play Remy finds himself in some space down the right-hand channel where he whips in a cross, that is expertly swept home into the far bottom corner by Solanke.

12:09

Solid start by Chelsea

5 mins: As you may expect the pace of the match isn't of the same standard as a competitive match but the tourists have started the brighter. Chelsea's youngsters are keeping possession well and are showing some inventive touches too, with it.

Could this be Petr Cech's final match for the club? The Stamford Bridge icon looks set to leave the club in the summer after playing second-fiddle to Thibaut Courtois for the majority of the season. The 33-year-old has been handed the skipper's armband for today's match as regular first-team squad members Branislav Ivanovic, John Obi Mikel and Loic Remy all feature in a starting XI that is dominated by promising youth prospects such as striker Dominic Solanke.

...and welcome to Sportsmail's coverage of Chelsea's pre-season friendly against a Thailand All-Stars XI. The 12.00pm Bangkok clash is the first of two fixtures the Blues will play before their season concludes.
